Cassapanca - Noce

an antique painted wooden storage chest (baule), decorated with hand-painted floral motifs on a dark ground. The interior is constructed from rough, solid wooden boards, while the exterior features elaborate floral bouquets, ornamental borders, and a decorative metal lock plate. The construction and aged patina suggest that it was a functional household or dowry chest, traditionally used for storing clothing, linens, textiles, or personal belongings.
